Hello! My name is Olivia Davey and I am currently in my first year studying Business Management with Marketing at Pearson Business School. I went through clearing myself on results day 2020. Initially, I had firmed and intended to go to a university 200+ miles away to study something completely different. However, in July and August, I began to weigh up my options on the morning of results day, I just knew that the firmed uni was not what I wanted for my future.
I decided to call up Pearson College London and speak to an applicant advisor as I was picking my UCAS choices. What appealed to me was the industry involvement, location, and size. I saw it had good industry links and worked with a wide range of companies/brands, which initially interested me as I was looking ahead with my future career in mind.
Being in London was a big part of the decision. Personally, I was not ready to move out of my family home and to a different city though I was ready to move forward in my education, and being a 15 min train away from Waterloo it seemed like a logical idea. I also liked the idea of going to university in London around big businesses, start-ups, and just interesting people in general (oh and occasionally spotting a celebrity).
The move between Sixth-form/College to university is a big step and is not always easy. I found that as a small, boutique institution Pearson College London was far more supportive in the transition and allowed me to settle in comfortably. Initially, I didn't think I would like the smaller size but as I have settled in I have found it beneficial. A huge part that makes Pearson College London such a growing environment is the people. I only learned this when I started but my classmates are very like-minded, it's so refreshing! Everyone I have come across is so determined with such a strong work ethic, I've never experienced anything like it.
